Precautions

This medication should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist before use if you regularly consume more than three glasses of alcohol daily. Taking this medication while consuming large amounts of alcohol may increase the risk of liver damage. Since this medication contains acetaminophen, taking it with other medications that also contain acetaminophen can exceed the maximum daily dosage, resulting in liver damage. Therefore, it should not be used with other medications that contain acetaminophen. This medication should not be used by individuals allergic to chlorzoxazone or acetaminophen. Patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function and those with a history of allergies should use this medication cautiously. If symptoms of an allergy such as hives, redness, or itching occur, discontinue use immediately. There may occasionally be symptoms such as skin rash, bleeding, or urine discoloration, so caution is advised. Very rarely, severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis may occur. This medication may affect liver function, so discontinue use if symptoms of liver dysfunction appear. Occasional gastrointestinal disturbances or rarely gastrointestinal bleeding may occur, so those with gastrointestinal issues should be careful. After taking the medication, mental and neurological symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, or excessive excitement may occur. Pregnant women or women of childbearing potential should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety is not assured. Also, caution should be taken as taking it with alcohol or central nervous system depressants may influence each other and exacerbate side effects.
